CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In Patent # 8,673,619, TheOxygenFactory.net outlines the renewable energy process which transforms CO2 to carbon and oxygen and purifies water. Using this process, the carbon becomes biomass in the metabolism of a cyanobacteria like Spirulina in the presence of light in the visible light spectrum. Natural plant growth of the cyanobacteria is amplified many, many times by LED lighting and CO2 saturation in deep flowing water. Organic and inorganic compounds and chemical toxins are mineralized in photocatalysis using such produced oxygen, which are then absorbed (metabolized) in the microalgal biomass that is harvested. The biomass may then be dried and re-burned in a never-ending process.
According to TheOxygenFactory.net, adoption of its technologies would allow a city like Los Angeles to fulfill its water needs by the recycling of wastewater and the desalination of seawater, eliminating the need to draw from the water table supporting central California agriculture. Further, the rewards of abundant freshwater and oxygen realized by embracing combustion and CO2 recycling should eliminate the desire to generate electricity via nuclear power, eliminating the issues of nuclear waste disposal, accidents (Fukushima, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island), and enrichment of uranium programs for peaceful versus military use.
